Modal effect of changes in the cycle (P-CHAN-00210)
P-CHAN-00210 | Modal effect of changes in the cycle |
Description | The modal G functions, circle geometry data and the current feed rate that are active before a cycle call are restored when the cycle ends, i.e. changes to the cycle with respect to this data are not retained. If the parameter 'cycle_changes_modal’ is assigned the value 1, changes in the cycle with regard to this data are retained after the cycle ends (modal). The cycle then responds like a normal subroutine with regard to effectiveness. |
Parameter | cycle_changes_modal |
Data type | BOOLEAN |
Data range | 0: Changes of modal G functions, circle data and the feed rate in the cycle are effective only up to the end of the cycle (default). * 1: Changes of modal G functions, circle data and the feed rate in the cycle are also effective after the end of the cycle (modal). |
Dimension | ---- |
Default value | 0 |
Remarks | * At the end of the cycle, only the types of modal G functions are restored that can be programmed on their own (e.g. G00, G01, G90, G91 etc.). G functions programmed in the cycle retain their validity in combination with value specifications (e.g. G129) or axis names (e.g. G92, G98, G99, G100, G112, G130 etc.). As an alternative to this parameter, the NC program contains the variables V.G.CYCLE_CHANGES_MODAL and the #RETAIN CYCLE CHANGES command. |
